Lite and Mari now stood in the hospital, waiting outside the room where The Leader laid, multiple doctors treating his wound.
"Geez.. Where the hell are Nico and Royce? They should be here."
Royce suddenly rushed into the hospital, many people startled, some screaming drom the surprise as he slid next to them, a second away from sliding into the wall.
"That was close.."
Royce rubbed his neck, looking around before looking to Lite and Mari, both having upset expressions with their arms crossed.
"Where's Nico, and why do you two looks so angry..?"
Mari pulled him down by the ear, getting closer to it as she shouted in a scary tone, Royce trying to pull out of her grip.
"We COULD have used you in that fight, but you were fucking asleep! Now our Leader got his chest split open and Nico ran off to god know's where..!"
She let go of his ear, sighing as she peaked into the hospital room. The Leader's chest was more then just slashes, as the flesh around the wounds were burnt, though the doctors seemed to be doing a quick job.
"You're lucky he didn't die, y'know. Now.. go find where that ring bearer is, and report back immediately. He's shown his power and we can't be too risky. I'm gonna make a few phonecalls."
Royce nodded, running off as Lite decided to join him. Mari took out a flipphone instead of her normal one, dialing a number as she placed the phone to her ear, the call accepted a few seconds later.
"You've called Riku Osami..! What's up..?"
The next day
A plane panded at the airport, though only two passangers boarded. They both walked out, one after the other, the first being a tall woman with a fit frame, her hair cut short with a bright orange hue. Riku Osami.
The second was was an odd girl, walking almost drunkily. Her face was pitch black, practically a shadow as all that could be seen were her blank eyes, her hair blending in with her face. Misty.
"C'mon, let's get food..!"
The two walked into the airport, stopping at a burger joint as they both ordered a meal, sitting down at a table.
As they munched on her burgers Mari came out from undercover, walking towards them, as the two looked up at her.
"Only two agreed to arrive, though you two will be more then perfect. You both already know eachother, and have similar abilities, I believe you both know why I called you here..?"
Riku nodded, taking the last bite of her burger.
"Yes, your leader is injured, and you require assistance to beating a certain foe.. We'll surely help..!"
Mari nodded, before looking to Misty, as due to her pitch black face, it looked as if she were pushing her butger into the void.
"Such a strange one.. Well, now. Two others already have eyes on the threat, we should hurry immediately before they lose track of him."
The two nodded, getting up as they followed Mari, going to where Royce and Lite currently were.
As they arrived it was already an absolute brawl, Royce and The Devil brawling with powerful punches.
"Lite, we told you to wait..!"
Lite looked down to Mari and the others, shaking her head and waving her hands in fornt if herself.
"Don't blame me..! Royce is dressed in pure blue, he easily got spotted..!"
Mari sighed, looking back to the fight. Royce carried a bloodlusted grin, punching The Devil in the gut, before following by grabbing his arm, throwing him back into a wall.
Finger Bullet
Royce tossed a coin into the air, holding his thumb under his index finger, before flicking the coin. It shot forth like a bullet, The Devil quickly ducking out the way. The coin hit the building behind him, the coin tearing it in half.
The Devil looked back at the building in shock, before rolling out the way as it collapsed. Royce was back at it, dashing towards him with a powerful punch.
"Grt em, Royce!"
The Devil cracked his knuckles before dashing below and past the punch, Royce stumbling from missing his hit, as The Devil planted a mine on his back.
"Shit..!"
Royce muttered, trying to reach for the mine, as the moment he touched it, it exploded, Royce launched back into the back of a moving truck, being driven away.
Everyone seemed surprised as Lite connected her sniper parts, firing a shot as The Devil blocked it with his knife. This was a mere dicersion as Riku dashed into the fight, as well did Misty.
Riku sprouted orange tentacles out her back, tossing many blades into the air, each tentacle catching them as she spun around, each blade swinging towards The Devil.
The Devil began parrying each slash, about to jab Riku in her weakspot, though just before contact he was sent into a wall, Misty stepping forth as her head gained a purple aura.
"I know who Riku is but.. who the hell is that shadow girl?"
Lite glanced to Mari. This wasn't the right time for questions, as she activated her sword's rockets, boosting into the fight, as Lite did the same.
The Devil's hands bled as he dispersed his claws once more, his head going into flames. He got into a proper stance as they all dashed towards him.
They all threw a flurry of punches, The Devil managing to avoid each one, redirecting attacks before grabbing Riku's tentacle, using it to wrap all their hands together.
With them now restrained he charged his arms with flames, clenching his fists tightly before slamming forth, launching the entire group into the wall.
"Even with a whole team you couldn't do it..! How do you expect any of your pathetic team to stop me..?"
He laughed, the group all injured as there didnd't seem to be much hope. His laugh came to an abrupt end as a helicoptrr could be heard.. The Devil looked up to it in confusion.
"Wh-What's with that..??"
Someone could be seen falling from the sky, followed by a bolt of lightning firing down, launching The Devil back as he weakly got back up.
The sound of heavy mettle hiting the ground was heard, a man landing as he slowly stood up. He held up his arm of metal, electricity seen through it's crevices, his red hair flowing in the gentle night breeze.
"Time for round two."
